Dear God,

We thank you for April 14 2010, for the day our little girl Charlotte Rose was born.
Thank you for creating our daughter, for the gift of her and for the 7 months of life that You gave. We thank you for her life and for the significance of it. Because of her, You have changed us and grown us. 
Thank you for surrounding us with people who cared for us during this time. Through them, we have felt Your love and care. Thank you too, for placing us in the hands of a Christian doctor who shared our faith and understood our heart. 
We are comforted with the assurance that Charlotte is now in heaven with Jesus her Saviour, and that Your love for her is perfect. She is blessed to never feel pain or sorrow but only pure love and joy. Because of You, we know that we will someday be reunited with our daughter for eternity.
Thank you that Charlotte matters to You, that her life was planned by You and was significant.
We are honoured to have been part of Your plan for Charlotte's life and we thank you wholeheartly for it. 
Through her life and because of it - may You receive great glory. 

In Jesus Name
Amen.

Dear God,

Thank you for Julie and the woman you have created her to be and the ways in which you are shining through her.

Thank you for being her God and her Saviour and carrying her through the valley of the shadow of death where she fears no evil, for you are with her. Thank you for being her strength when she struggles to find her own.

Thank you for her friendship and for your plan for her life. I am richly blessed that you brought our life paths to meet each others.

We love you, Lord.
In your son's most precious name,
Amen

I can see that you are healing through your writing.... the fact that you can say that you are honoured to be a part of God's plan for Charlotte and to thank Him wholeheartedly...that is real faith and a testament to trusting God, even tho it hurts so much. Julianne,God is so proud of you.xx oo

From the very moment I saw my niece I was captured by her beauty and as I held her I thought... There is no name more suitable, more perfect for this little girl that lay in my arms. Charlotte Rose... A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
